off by one for 2005 September 16 (entry 0)

(3) Fri Sep 16 01:40:11 food is expensive -- and other random thoughts:

I went to Quizno's tonight to get a regular sub combo and the total was $8.85 by the time it was done. Is that normal, people? I might as well eat out at a real restaurant if a Quizno's sub is going to set me back 10 bucks.

My Computer Architecture class is really interesting, although it is (understandably) a huge nerd-fest. I'm just one of the nerds, don't get me wrong... but wow. Nerds of all stripes.

Played Halo 2 with some friends in Chicago the other night... the Internet is great.

I also have a line on a job which is pretty exciting -- I'm really looking forward to seeing how this stuff pans out. I have enjoyed having a little "vacation" (or, as my mom said this summer, "You're not on vacation, you're *unemployed*!" -- hi mom!), but I'm just about ready to be back in the saddle doing something constructive and I've just about worked through the pile of "things I told people I would do but never got around to." I need a job so that pile can start growing again and I can get stressed out about it. Just kidding.

I have been really good at trusting God lately -- I feel like that's a major theme in my life; trusting that God will put me (and alhp) where we need to be, and give us the things we need to be there, if we are open to his leading. But I feel like, in being so trusting, I have let other areas of my spiritual life, like general prayer, or study, or just "quiet time" really fall by the wayside and I've been starting to feel a little needy in that regard. I haven't really talked about religion/faith much in this venue, but I'm a religious person and there's no point in hiding that here.

What else has been noteworthy? I'm sure a lot, but I guess that's it for now.
